i got fitted for my capoeira belt!

i guess i’m thinking about music today…

why is it perfectly normal to sing to yourself, but if you talk to yourself, you’re insane?

you know how people are always saying that there is nothing new in the world anymore? well, i kind of have a hard time believing it. i mean, this earth is so young in the spectrum of time- do we really have to spend the next million, billion, trillion, ga-zillion years with the same old same old? if we really have come up with everything there is to come up with, there really wasn’t too much. maybe that’s what God meant when he said he created us in his own image: maybe we used to be able to create new things without having to copy from old things. and maybe that’s why we had to die when we lost this ability- because we would get waaay too bored, you know?

so i had an interesting revelation: i ate pizza for dinner one night and my dream self ate it too. then she said, “wow, i dreamed i had pizza and now i’m really having it!” well, what if our dream people just think waking-life is a dream, and when they line up like that, it feels like they knew the future

i don’t like being sick when i’m by myself. it really makes me realize i’m alone when i sneeze and have to bless myself. and it doesn’t help to have comptine d’un autre ete by yann tiersen playing (it’s like the sadest, most beautiful song ever)

in normal life…

i’ve yet to find a suitable translation for “the bane of my existance”. i mean, i need something that really captures the soul of the phrase.

my aunt decided to celebrate thanksgiving this year with me and michael, so tomorrow i’m going over to her house to watch season 2 of lost and cook delicious food! yay!

i’m kind of turning into a psycho. i can’t refrain from killing any flying bug that comes near me! they just really, really, reeeaaally piss me off!

oh, and, yes i got fitted for my belt! we’ve been practicing a little every day for the baptism this december. i admit, i’m a tad nervous because i have to fight the mestre of my school and my mom will be there! i’ve fought him before (and almost knocked him to the ground with a well placed rasteira), but this is important. i’ve got to prove myself on that day.
